Rob Carson
you are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide web. This is the Rob Carson show and by the grace of God it is finally Friday. Yay Friday. Already the 15th of May. It's like crazy, crazy, crazy. Memorial Day weekend is coming up, the kickoff of summer starting very soon. It's a beautiful day in our nation's capital this weekend. On Sunday there is a day of Faith on the National Mall. I'm googling it. I can remember the name of it, what they're calling it, but rededicate 250 a national Jubilee of prayer, thanksgiving, prayer, praise and Thanksgiving going to be taking place on the National Mall. All day event dedicated to scripture, testimony, prayer, worship and the national call to return to God. Now I'm not a, I'm not Bible banger or anything like that, but I think this is really important and I think as I told you, that we are the reaction of the action of evil that had taken over the world, taken over the country, all of that and great things are happening. Great things are happening. I was just reading today John Ratcliffe has met with officials in Cuba because Cuba is apparently falling. It looks like it's falling. So that's good news. Cuba's on the Brink, which would be remarkable. This would be. These are extraordinary times. Cue Democrats ready to completely ignore the possibility of freedom for the Cuban people like they did freedom for the Iranian people and honestly let them disappear into the dustbin of history. Because I've waited my entire life, not my adult life, my entire life for Cuba to be free. And I'm hoping and praying that it will because I've seen nothing but in my entire life, misery in Cuba, Misery in Cuba. People like, you know, idiots will go down there. And Michael Moore. Oh, yeah, the schools down there are so great. Yeah, enjoy your five pounds of rice and pound of beans you get every month. Nothing. You know, cars that are 70 years old, held together by wire, political prisons all over the island. Honestly, shut up. You know, people escape that island on rafts, you know, through shark infested waters to get out of that hell hole. And so I'm going to celebrate when Cuba is free and I'm going to go down and I'm going to, I'm going to meet, you know, maybe some friends down there and have a Cuban cigar. Maybe they can get back to as good as they used to be. Because the Cuban cigars were the deal for a while while there and they've slipped. The rest of the world is caught up and there's a lot of great cigars being made out there. So there's that, there's that the possibility that Iran could breathe free. And of course the Democrat Party has said that Operation Epic Fury is a failure for day one, which throws our military under the bus. All of our military members, all of their families, all of their loved ones, everybody under the bus. It's a damn shame and it's, it's, it's terrible. Oh, here's some more bad news for the Democrats. The Department of Homeland Security announced that this week, April marked 12 consecutive months of zero releases of illegal aliens apprehended by border patrol at the southwest border with Mexico into the United States. That is just crazy because Democrats said they could not do it alone.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
Republicans keep saying Biden doesn't need Congress. He can stop what's happening at the border all by himself. Can you fact check that for us? Because we here all know that's not true.
Senator Ron Johnson
Republicans have been saying, largely wrongly.
Rob Carson
Right. Because saying that the President can close the border unilaterally on his own. President actually doesn't have the authority under law to do that.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
There's only so much President Biden can
Rob Carson
do with executive action.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
And he did try to do whatever he could. They actually are doing everything they can. The president's hands are tied. There's only so much that he can do.
Christian Toto
President Biden has issued certain executive orders, but there's only so much he can do within his purview.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
What an intriguing, tractable.
Rob Carson
This is why the media just sucks and they're wrong about everything, and then they're unrepentant and unapologetic. But I've got the montages, thank you very much. I've got the montages, you jerks. And you know what it's like every day to watch the southern border open, to see 20,000 Haitian refugees under a bridge in Mexico, to watch, you know, the bodies being found on ranchers land in and people being murdered by illegals coming across the southern border. And it was all a damned lie. It was all a damned lie. Milestone officially reflects the most secure border in American history under Donald Trump. Donald Trump did it. Donald Trump did it. The media won't give you a positive report on this, but Donald Trump did it. 94% drop in illegal border apprehensions compared to the Biden era. Daily crossings now lower than what agents encountered in a single hour at the height of the 2023 crisis, which was bought and paid for, made possible intentionally by the Biden administration to load a Trojan horse with our country's enemies and bring them across. And people ought to be lined up against walls for doing this. And one of those people is this little turd, Alejandro Mayorkas. Alejandro Mayorkas was talking to Politico the other day, and he suddenly, he thinks maybe we should have closed the border a little earlier. He allowed the southern border to be open. He allowed people unvetted on airlines with American citizens who had been unvetted for terr disease, for criminality. That's what they did to us. People need to be held accountable.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Did you feel that you had the
Rob Carson
support from the president in order to succeed?
Alejandro Mayorkas
There were.
Rob Carson
There were areas of disagreement within immigration policy and in other areas, but I voiced my.
Alejandro Mayorkas
My view.
Rob Carson
You opened the southern border to all comers, including our enemies. That's why there are so many of them here. That's why there was so much crime, so much child traffick, so much trafficking of women for sex and labor, so many fentanyl deaths.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Be pleased that In June of 2024, we. We took executive action that I thought made reforms that were sensible.
Rob Carson
If those, again, that had. And that proved proved
Alejandro Mayorkas
successful, if those executive actions had been taken one or
Rob Carson
two years earlier, do you think Donald
Alejandro Mayorkas
Trump would be the president today? I am not In a position to.
Rob Carson
What a weasel. He's like the Tony Fauci of the border. Dear Lord. Here, here he is. Alejandro Mayorkas and others saying, oh yeah. Even though millions of people were streaming across the southern border unvetted that it was secure.
Christian Toto
Mr. President, you call the situation on
Rob Carson
the southern border of crisis? No, it is my testimony that the border is secure.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
The president worked very hard to implement a strategy when it comes to the border that is humane, safe and has enforcement. Things are going at the border, sir,
Rob Carson
much better than, much, much better than you all expected.
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
We have a secure border in that.
Christian Toto
That is a priority for any nation.
Rob Carson
You know, it's the most despicable thing in the world for a politician to lie to your face. Know that the liberal media, the leftist media will carry their water even though they're lying to you. And all you can do as say for instance a conservative or someone who wanted the country to be saved and didn't want the rapes and the murders and the trafficking and the fentanyl deaths and all we could do was scream out loud, close the border. Close the border. And we had to. Do you understand why we're still. We're not going to let you have either house of Congress in the midterms. We're not going to let you do this. We are still fighting mad over what you did to our country. We are fighting that over all of it. And then of course there's what they did to us during COVID which was entirely unnecessary. Another thing, screaming about why do we have our schools closed? Why are our children suffering so much? This doesn't happen to happen. Why can't I go to church? Why do I have to get a vaccine that doesn't work? You can't say anything because what you say is disinformation and misinformation. This is Josh Hawley this week in Congress talking to a whistleblower about how the COVID virus was created in a lab in Wuhan, China, which bought and paid for by Tony Fauci, by the way. There's no doubt about it. And then of course they covered it up.
Interviewer / Fact Checker
Let me tell you what this so called five page report, what it said in its substance, to the extent there was any. They said, number one, that nothing that was researched at the Wuhan lab could plausibly be a progenitor of SARS COV2. Number two, they said there is no evidence of any research related incident involving Wuhan employees that might have been related to the pandemic. Now, in your experience, given what you have seen are those true statements.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Some of that would have to be covered and classified. But no, they're not true. If we wanted to get into details, I don't believe that's true.
Interviewer / Fact Checker
So the United States government first deliberately violated a law passed by Congress signed by the President that ordered them to release all information related to the Wuhan lab, number one. Number two, they then violated the law again by withholding thousands and thousands of pages that they had at the time and knew were covered by the law. Number three, the conclusions so called they released to the public are false. If that is not a cover up, I don't know what is.
Rob Carson
Then there's Dr. Peter McAuliffe. He was one of the many physicians who were saying, hey man, maybe we ought to try hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin horse paste. Maybe, maybe, maybe the vaccine isn't safe and effective. Baloney. It's misinformation. Here's what he has to say about Tony Fauci.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Now the world understands that Fauci has committed two crimes. One is fraudulent concealment. He intentionally concealed the origins of SARS COV2 from his funded projects in Wuhan. If we would have known what the story was originally, I think we could have done better in our pandemic response. Second major crime. I think he committed his mass negligent homicide by two mechanisms. He worked to suppress our efforts at publishing and promulgating early treatment protocols to get people through the illness. And secondly, he. Ivermectin hydroxychloroquine relentlessly promoted unsafe vaccines that took hundreds of thousands of American lives, millions of lives worldwide. It's been the greatest biological catastrophe mankind has ever seen.
Rob Carson
No, wait, wait. Really? I mean, that vaccine was safe and effective? Not according to Senator Ron Johnson.
Senator Ron Johnson
What my report shows is that on March 1st of 2021, Peter Marks, the head of CBER, that's that division charge of vaccines, received a briefing from Anna Sharman. She was the primary data gathering specialist for vaccine surveillance, working with the inventor of the algorithm. Briefed him with a multi page brief saying that the current algorithm was going to mask or hide safety signals. Okay. 26 days later, with a state of the art algorithm that unmasked those safety signals, they showed top, top FDA officials that there was 49 cases of extreme masking, 25 safety signals of very serious adverse events. Like, like sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction.
Rob Carson
Wow.
Senator Ron Johnson
Bell's palsy. Other types of stroke. She continued to update this month after month. More safety.
Rob Carson
And she was censored you know, it's interesting. I know more people who were injured by the vaccine than died of COVID the deadliest pandemic in the history of mankind. I don't know anyone who died of COVID but I know several people who've encountered terrific, horrific problems with their health since the vaccine. Yeah. Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey, guys, it's Carson. You know, my signature phrase, don't catch is stupid. When it comes to Medicare, that's easier said than done. Medicare is overly complex with thousands of plans hidden, gotchas in the fine print and rules nobody really explains to you. Many people just pick something and hope for the best. That's why you need to know about chapter. They're the only advisor that looks at every plan in the country. Matches your doctors, your prescriptions and your situation to a plan that fits your needs. When your call with CHAPTER is done, you know your doctors are covered, your prescriptions are matched, and you go from I hope I did this right to I know I did. That, my friends, is peace of mind. A call with Chapter is free for my audience and there's no pressure to sign up. Call Chapter today. Here's the number. 27 Medicare. That's 2, 7 Medicare. 27 Medicare. 4 Chapter. No pressure. What's your excuse? Call 27 Medicare and don't catch the stupid yourself. Call 27 Medicare today. The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to secure the border. But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. Yeah. And we knew it. We all knew it. They opened the border intentionally to flood our country with America's enemies. They said that, you know, we can't do anything about it. They can't do anything about it. And Donald Trump came along and shut it immediately. And now we have the lowest number of illegals being. No, no illegals released on the southern border in the last 12 months. And it was that easy. And, you know, this is. This is the reason why we don't trust you anymore. This is why, you know, the left exposes their flank so we can kick their butt. And a lot of that is going on right now. And we're discovering the depth of the enormous corruption of our federal government, what they've done to us over the years. It really is. I mean, we always talked about it being a swamp. It's. I have to. I know there's a reason why I'm here to witness this and share it with you, because look at what's coming at us. Fast and furious. All of this stuff. The. The absolute corruption of Medicare and Medicaid, the increasing of the size of our federal government with COVID using Covid as an excuse to blow up the federal government by 40% and then just doling it out willy nilly. The exposition of the Green New Deal nonsense, how it was just all made up of whole cl. It was an absolute waste of trillions of dollars just paying off people. The NGO industrial complex where people, you know, you and I, we always fantasize about being millionaires. But you know, we have to come up with an idea and we have to work. There are people in government or their friends who just become millionaires by theft. By theft, by taking our money. Listen to this. A health care software company CEO was found guilty of fleecing $1 billion of taxpayer cash in cold calculated scheme all while flaunting his and his wife's lavish lifestyle. Brett Blackman, 42, convicted of fraud on Wednesday after he and co conspirators conned Medicare patients with bogus prescriptions and unnecessary medical expenditures. From 2015 to 2020. A billion dollars. A billion dollars. Health Splash owner and CEO Blackman and his co conspirators aggressively targeted hundreds of thousands of Medicare benefic to accept medically unnecessary products including orthotic braces. According to the this illegitimate operation stole a billion dollars from American, American taxpayers. Hundreds of thousands of Medicare beneficiaries. Cold calculated industrial scale theft targeting the sick and elderly, coercing vulnerable people into buying unnecessary medical equipment. Wow. Then in California they just shut down 800 of these hospices. In Minnesota, spending for autism sources went from 7 million to 400 million in a couple years. You tell me that the government didn't know what the hell that was going on? You tell me they didn't know that was going on. You tell me the AG in either one of these states didn't know this was going on. Of course they knew it was going on. This is Gavin Newsom and he says after all of these hospices being closed, oh no, we've been on this hospice closing thing. This, all this is a policy. Listen to this weasel, this filthy rotten weasel. He is corrupt and I'm hoping, hoping, hoping someday that he is perp walked, arrested, indicted and spends the rest of his years in jail with Dr. Oz.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Might as well, you're living in Oz hospice. We've been after that for years and years. But Oz was even on the scenes. This is purely political. This is not about fraud and abuse. This is about the polarization, politicalization.
Rob Carson
This is Newsom in January this year. Weaponization versus Oz. Just this month.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Not just a grievance, but weaponization across the board of agencies and weaponization, the likes of which we've never seen from an administration.
Christian Toto
At least half of the hospices in the entire area around Los Angeles are fraudulent. And Today we announce 800 of those hospices have been suspended. That's getting us, you know, close to where we think we should be. 800 hospices that last year charged the federal taxpayer $1.4 billion.
Rob Carson
They knew it was going on. He knew what was going on. This is how they. This is how they hang on to power, and this is how they get their. Their political donations. This is how. He's buying an $8 million mansion, paying cash for it. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. On a government salary, he's buying an $8 million mansion. Oh, it's remarkable. Just the. The malfeasance and the. Oh, you want to hear something fun? This is. This is a guy torching Karen Bass because she spent. They're spending, like, hundreds of millions of dollars on a couple thousand homeless people, and it's all money going to NGOs, making people rich. Talk about homelessness. Inside safe. We have spent. How much, Karen? How much? 400 million? To house what, 1500 people permanently? You are a failure, an absolute failure. And you come here for your little media event. You have failed the city of la, Karen. We are spending hundreds of thousands per person in ins.
Christian Toto
Safe.
Rob Carson
Half of them end up back out on the street. Yeah. Here is Elon Musk talking about the homeless industrial complex. Why it exists.
Elon Musk
The homeless implies that somebody got a little behind on their mortgage payments, and if they just got a job offer, they'd be back on their feet. But someone who's totally dead inside, shuffling along down the street with a needle dangling out of their leg, you know, taking a dump in the middle of the street. They're not, like, one job offer away from getting back on their feet. You know, these sort of charities, they get this money. The money is proportionate to the number of homeless people. Their incentive structure is to maximize the number of drug zombies, not minimize it. That's why they don't arrest the drug dealers, because if they arrest the drug dealers, the drug zombies leave. And they would stop getting money from the state of California and from. From all the charities. This is a diabolical scam.
Rob Carson
Yeah. This is why I say that we are the reaction to the action of evil that has taken over our country. This is a terrifying and glorious time that at least now we know this, right? At least now we know this. And those who continue to lie to us like they did on the border, like they did on Covid, like they did on all of this, they're being exposed and they are going to be punished for what they did on this earth and in the afterlife as well. Let's take a break and come back. We've got the one and only Christian toto. Hollywoodandtoto.com on the other side of the break. This is the Rob Carson show. In New York City. Zoran Mandami is doing an estate tax of up to 50%. That's what he's pushing for for families, leaving behind a life's earnings. That's devastating. What are you leaving for your family?

For the sleep of a lifetime,
Alejandro Mayorkas
Donald Trump has been sworn in as President of the United States. I know, I know, I know. Listen, listen. We're just as confused as you are. Joe Biden did it. I sat down and just started crying with relief. And Evie said, you never have to talk about him again. And then I.
Rob Carson
This is 10 years of Stephen Colbert.
Alejandro Mayorkas
I cried with joy. After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the Late show in May.
Rob Carson
Wow. He killed it. He killed it. CHR Christian Toto hollywoodandtodo.com the end of an error. There you go. And it looks like the demise of late night in general. Welcome to the show. How are you, my friend?
Christian Toto
I was good until you played those clips.
Rob Carson
I know, right?
Christian Toto
Where's the comedy? Where the laugh.
Rob Carson
Thank you.
Christian Toto
Where's the entertainment?
Rob Carson
I didn't hear any, you know, I, I really, you know, I grew up watching Carson and then Letterman. Letterman was like when I was in high school, college, and, and it was really good. Letterman was, he was revolutionary. He did goofy crap like dropping stuff off of buildings. The Velcro suit. You saw the Velcro suit jumping on the wall with the Velcro suit. Stupid pet tricks. Top 10 list. Where is that? Where is it?
Christian Toto
It's a different era. It's all about lectures and group therapy and finger wagging and cruelty and misinformation. Certainly not comedy, certainly not humor. And, you know, it's been really sad to see David Letterman kind of rally to Colbert's side and kind of join in the caterwauling because he had a different kind of show. He had a different principle. And yes, he was liberal. He was certainly leaning harder into that in his later episodes. But, you know, in a way, he besmirches his legacy a little bit by kind of of joining forces with Colbert and this whole free speech nonsense. The show was reportedly losing $40 million a year. It should have gone years ago.
Rob Carson
Wow, it is a sad commentary. I saw the other night when they had all of the current hosts of Late Night on the couch. And I looked at them and they are a shell of the greatness that came before them. Them. You got Seth Meyers. Nobody watches him. You've got I. Fallon. At least I think he's a very talented guy. He's a brilliant singer and whatnot. But I saw these, these skinny, you know, suit wearing politicos that they just aren't funny anymore. They aren't. It was, I don't know, it was like late night had been hijacked. And could you imagine if that would have been 30 years ago? Carson would have been sitting there and Leno might have been sitting there. Arsenio hall might have said there, Steve Allen, Jack, pardon life. But all of those guys, a shadow. And I'm just, I, you know, I'm seeing Colbert's going out. I guess next week's gonna be the last. The last show with a whimper and not a bang. That's all he deserves. All right.
Christian Toto
It's amazing. You know, listen, he did serve about 10 or so years. That is a good run. It is hard to be competitive in late night tv. He's been sadly, the best of the worst, you could say, as far as the ratings are concerned. And you would think that maybe your final few weeks would be about humor and memories and looking back at some of the funnier pieces or some of the entertaining moments. And it's all about Trump. It's all about this fake victim nonsense. By the way, you know who's a real victim? Gina Carano. Gina Carano.
Rob Carson
Tell me about this.
Christian Toto
And with the Mandalorian. She was the star of the Mandalorian. She was a rising star. They wanted to make a spin off series about her and then she wouldn't toe the line. She wouldn't say all the progressive things that Hollywood actors are supposed to. And Disney fired her and she basically hasn't had a career since then. Listen, she's worked a little bit the Daily Wire, she's done a couple projects, but she's been kicked out of Hollywood. And this weekend she fights with. She fights against Ronda Rousey on Netflix on her own terms, making her own comeback. She is a free speech champion and no one wants to talk about it. And no legacy media outlet has had her back. It's shameful.
Rob Carson
So Gina Carano is fighting Ronda Rousey. See, I didn't even know about this, Christian. I didn't even know about this happening.
Christian Toto
Tomorrow night, big fight.
Rob Carson
Really?
Christian Toto
Yeah. Come back. They're both in great shape. They've been, they've been sort of, I guess they've been rivals on and off, but I don't think they've ever fought in the ring. Now they're going to fight.
Rob Carson
I think that sounds kind of fascinating, actually. And you know, she is. I think she's a real talent. I think Gina Carano is a real talent. I guess I'M kind of a little crestfallen that she's having to, you know, have to fight in the ring against somebody to get noticed again, you know.
Christian Toto
Yeah. But, you know, listen, it's what her choice is. I met her several years ago, by the way, on the set of Terror on the Pro, the Daily Wire movie. Let me tell you, I've been interviewed. Tom Hanks and Will Smith and Kevin Spacey. I've interviewed some big stars. There is not one celebrity who I met who is kinder and more decent and who stuck up for fellow journalists like me than Gina Carano. She's an absolute sweetheart.
Rob Carson
Yeah. This week, one of the most. And I have not. I've not run audio from this. I'm not going to run audio from this. Pete Davidson facing immense backlash after his joke about Charlie Kirk, the Roast of Kevin Hart. I'm not going to say what he said, but it was an absolutely disgusting thing to say. He had been warned about it, by the way. They said, you know, maybe you shouldn't. Maybe you should. And listen, I will defend comedy to the ends of the earth. You know how I am. But I'm going to tell you this, this isn't. There. There is a, there is a line. You know, in 1946, you wouldn't make a joke about the Holocaust. You still wouldn't make a joke about the Holocaust. But this was just. Roast could be vicious. Don't get me wrong. You, you remember seeing the, the one a couple years ago with what's his name? Yeah, yeah. That was brutal, right? That was brutal. But it was funny. This was just. This was just horrible.
Christian Toto
You know, I disagree with you to a degree and that I think with a roast is a very specific thing. Anything goes. But it also, I didn't think it was really funny. I mean, if you're gonna go that dark, I think you've got to just have an absolute hysterical joke. And I thought this one was not at all. But also on that same show.
Rob Carson
I'm not, I'm not saying he shouldn't. I'm not saying he should have been prevented from saying a Christian. I'm just saying I think it was a real mistake for him to have said it.
Christian Toto
I don't disagree because I just think. Because if you're going to tell a joke that that's, that's that dark and cruel and cold, it's got to be really smart and really funny. I don't think it broach those barriers. On that same show, though. Cheryl Underwood, I don't know very well I guess she's a talk show personality. Her husband, I believe, took his own life. They were joking about that during the show and they were joking about George Floyd during the show. So there was not a punch pulled. And so I'm sympathetic to what you're saying. At the same time, I've seen comedy curdled in the last few years and the fact that the shackles are off, I think overall is a good thing.
Rob Carson
Listen, like you, honestly, well, honestly look at the cancel culture, what it did to comedy. It gutted comedy, certainly killed comedy on campus to some degree. So I am glad to see, I'm glad, listen, I'm glad to see a comeback. I'm glad to see Shane Gillis rejected and canceled by Saturday Night Live coming back and hosting it. You know, I'm glad to see people who've said politically incorrect things making a comeback. I just thought Davidson, I don't know to me personally, I wouldn't, you, I wouldn't, you know, whatever it is what it is. On the other side of the break, I want to talk a little bit about this Achilles played by Elliot Page. I've got some funny stuff from Sydney Sweeney on the, on the, the, the, the set of her actually in the show Euphoria. And then also a new, a new trailer for a movie on Angel Studios that's getting a lot of traction about George Washington. Okay. I want to cover all those things. On the other side of the break with Christian Toto. Make HollywoodInToto.com a favor on your browser. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rod Carson Show. So many people living with everyday pain think they're just stuck with it and it is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. Let me tell you about George from Oregon and his Relief Factor story. George is a hard working guy, spends 10 hours a day in his garbage truck. It's a tough job made even harder because he was dealing with sore right knee that he couldn't bend.

Alejandro Mayorkas
Washington? All those bullet holes in your jacket.
Rob Carson
Hurry won't.
Christian Toto
I don't know.
Rob Carson
You have no military service. You are a boy. You are not British. Yet they send you to speak for them so that when you fail, they'll have have someone to blame. This looks like the best thing Angel Studios has done. It is young Washington and it, it is opening, I believe, June 23rd. Christian Tone have you heard much about this? I've been getting these. I have an, I have an angel subscription. So I get hit with this all the time. But this just looks good. It's got big Ben Kingsley, Kelsey Grammer in this thing.
Christian Toto
It all looks good. I'm excited to see it. I don't have much inside information about it. I will say that when you think about the timing and you think about the subject matter and you think about what birthday is coming up for this country very, very soon.
Rob Carson
Yes.
Christian Toto
To my estimation, this is the only really significant slash major project that is honoring the country's 250th birthday. I know Disney is going to have some programming on the fourth that will recognize that major mark. But you know, as far as Hollywood goes, and this is actually outside of Hollywood, like I said, it's Angel Studios. They're an upstart studio. They're not part of the system. This is gonna put movies and shows like this.
Rob Carson
This is gonna put, I mean, angels on the map. This is gonna put angel on the map. I think a lot of people are gonna go see this movie, oddly enough. I just got a mountain bike. You know where I'm going tomorrow? I'm riding the trail to Mount Vernon tomorrow.
Christian Toto
That is one of my favorite paths in the entire. Listen, I am not a well traveled person, but I am in my 50s and that path is very magical and special to me. So I'm very jealous.
Rob Carson
I can't, I can't wait. I cannot wait. But I, you know, that's one of the things about, about living here, Christian. Where I live in Northern Virginia, they still have streets named Washington and Franklin and King and Queen and, you know, and Duke street and all this. And then, and then the streets that cross them are Washington. It's really cool and they're proud of it. And I'm going to tell you, this is, this is such a time to live here. Christian. They're getting ready to open the reflecting pool. You know, it's going to be beautiful. It's going to look like. It's going to look like the lazy river at Disney World. And. And I think this movie, I think it's going to be huge for Angel Studios. I really do. I really, really.
Christian Toto
I hope so.
Rob Carson
Yeah. Let's move on to some other stuff. So a new, I guess, the Odyssey coming out, and it's got Elliot Page playing Achilles. Elliot Page, who was in Juno. Right. Wasn't Juno as a girl, and then all of a sudden decided to become a mutilated man. And a lot of people are. There's. Is this, Is this for real? Is it still just a rumor? Elon Musk says it's stupid that Elliot Page would be considered for. Achilles was played by Brad Pitt years ago, what, 2004 in the Odyssey. What are your thoughts on this?
Christian Toto
I don't. I don't think we have enough information yet. A couple things. This is Christopher Nolan, big, big, big time director.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Christian Toto
Second of all, Elliot Page is in the film. We don't know the role in question. There's been a lot of speculation.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Okay.
Christian Toto
At this point, listen, when you're in the industry forever, like Christopher Nolan has been, you tend to change. You tend to kind of. Even if you're not left of center, you tend to morph over time, just. But just by exposure, just by survival techniques. He's not been that guy. He's been entertainment first and foremost. Even his movie the Dark Knight Rises was really kind of an attack on the Occupy Wall street nonsense.
Rob Carson
Yeah.
Christian Toto
So I've got to give him benefit of doubt. We don't know information yet. So I'm going to hold my fire at the moment, but wait and see. I don't know. It's. Nothing would surprise me at this point. At the same time.
Rob Carson
Yeah. I'm looking@hollywoodintoto.com which you should check out. I see Harry Shearer of the Simpsons has. Has really taken his TDS to a new. A new high.
Christian Toto
Yeah. He's got a new parody out that's kind of poking fun at President Trump and it's really cringeworthy. Listen, he's a super talented guy. He's.
Rob Carson
Oh, my God, yes.
Christian Toto
The years. I don't want to ever besmirch what he's done, but. Yeah, I think when you hate Trump so much, you just, you. You lose your common sense. You lose your sense of artistic ability. It's a parody song. It's tough to watch. I watched the video version on YouTube.
Rob Carson
Did you?
Christian Toto
It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not Insightful. I didn't at times I don't even know what he's trying to do or what he's trying to parody. But not his finest hour, let's put it that way.
Rob Carson
Actress Sydney Sweeney's Euphoria character Cassie Howard implied her political stance during Sunday's episode of the HBO drama, saying, you sound like a Democrat. An off camera podcast host can be heard telling Cassie. To which Sweeney's Euphoria character replies, I'm not retarded.
Christian Toto
You get. You got the R word, which was once verboten. And yes, it was unconventional. Said about the Democratic party on a mainstream streaming platform like hbo.
Rob Carson
I know, apparently. And you've got Sydney Sweeney's breasts against a large window in the what I hear, which almost makes me want to get an HBO subscription.
Christian Toto
Funny. I mean, having that said on the show is one thing, but having her say it, her. I mean, obviously she's playing a character, but we all know that she seems to be common sense driven or certainly not going to apologize to the woke monsters who were attacking her for the gene.
Rob Carson
And, and can I also say welcome back to being able to say that a woman is hot. Okay, there you go.
Christian Toto
Yeah. And listen, guys are hot. Let's make it bipartisan from a gender point of view. They're a good looking guys and good looking gals and that's why we watch movies. We want to see people. It's okay.
Rob Carson
Absolutely. Chris and Toto, always great to have you on. If you ever make it back to dc, I'll get you a mountain bike. We'll head out to Mount Vernon. All right, brother. All right. Hollywoodandtoto.com also tell everybody where they can share out your podcast.
Christian Toto
Yep. YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, wherever you get your favorite podcast, you will find the Hollywood and Total podcast.
Rob Carson
All right, take care. But we'll talk again. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show.
Christian Toto
Show,
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
poor little Democrats. Are you guys okay today that I
Rob Carson
came in to check on you?
ZipRecruiter Announcer / Advertiser
Every time Trump does something good, you guys spaz out. Would you guys shut up and let him work.
Rob Carson
What a great week. By the way. Had the previous week SCOTUS decision, rhinos being driven out in the Senate in Indiana. You had Louisiana, you had Memphis. Gerrymandering, all that. And then this week you had Donald Trump going to China and just kicking butt. Just absolutely a tour de force. An invasion of China showing our. And they listen all of the red carpet and all that. You know what that was? That was a butt kiss. That was A butt kiss because he's in the cat bird seat, as it were. So there you go. Supply constraints on commodities cause prices to surge. Could be oil, could be grain, could be just about anything. Could be steel, you know, could be coal. Gold also, by the way, they mine it out of the ground and when it's gone, it's gone. Governments can't print more of it. Gold is, is increasingly valuable. It's more valuable it's ever been. I was playing something from this billionaire in New York City who, who's talking about the devaluation of our currency. Since Joe Biden was a president six years ago, the devalu devaluation of our currency has just been remarkable. You used to be able to go to McDonald's and get a 99 cent soda. A large soda was. Now it's $2.99. Did you notice that our money's not buying as much as it used to. It's just not. The currency has been devalued. It's not getting any better. Gold is going up in value. Maybe it's time to invest in some gold. I think it's a good idea. Birch gold now through May 29 is giving a first time gold buyers rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. For details and free information, a kit on diversifying into gold, just text my name, Rob, to the number 989-898. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401K into a tax sheltered IRA in gold. If you just have money in savings, it's a waste. You're not making any interest money on it. It's worthless. Invest it, invest it. And I would, I would recommend gold. That's what I did. I did my 401k from selling cars. Text my name, Rob, to the number 989-898 to see if you qualify for a first time gold buyer rebate up to $10,000. Okay. Okay. My TV show is called Rob Carson's what in the World this weekend. Very, very, very, very funny show on Newsmax. We got some really big things happening here in Washington D.C. i'm hoping we can expand the show. But even where it has been, it has been noticed. Donald Trump thinks I'm really funny and I've gotten notes from him and his associates who've told me and I also met him and he told me that I'm the funniest guy on tv. So the show's getting better. It's very tight and we're going to be doing some cool stuff with it. It's on Saturday in the afternoon at 3, Sunday night at 8:30 on Newsmax. Get the Newsmax download the Newsmax app and I would recommend you start watching Newsmax particularly in the evenings. The commentary is brilliant from Finnerty and Higby and Greta and Schmidt. All of it you're not going to get anywhere else but my show is Rob Carson's one in the world. DVR it and watch it and tell everybody about it. Have a wonderful weekend guys. Thank you for everything. God bless you. America's founded our President safe travels with him. Our military just kick butt in Iran. And until Monday, don't catch the stupid. God bless you from the bottom of my heart. I love you.
Alejandro Mayorkas
Bye.
